  • We traveled to Catoctin Furnace near Thurmont to experience the Museum of the Iron Worker. This historic site tells the stories of iron workers, enslaved and free, who toiled at the Catoctin Furnace from the 1770s until 1903. The museum provides an opportunity to come face to face with history.

    Well found out I am related to 7 these people, DNA says, Hope there is a paper/census regarding this info that they can provide for these people, names and etc. I guess Baker and Johnson are the surnames. Also found out Royal DNA - These so called slaves have the yDNA of the Royal Clan Abernathy - Abernethy is a surname whose origins link to a Scottish clan that descends from Orm de Abernethy, a grandson of Gille Míchéil, Earl of Fife that presumably settled at Abernethy, Perth and Kinross. The name is of non-Gaelic Pictish origin, from a period when the Caledonian Welsh or Brytons controlled these lands.

    Are they sure they got the right ethnicities ? The Haplogroup is R1b1a1b1a1a2c1a1 That is a European Haplogroup. Not only that he seemed to have not only Moor / Moroccan middle-eastern blood but European DNA. I wish they talked about this a little more. I don't think the images are correct unless there were more bodies they dug up? I am really confused by this.

    • @kiyahnichols759
      @kiyahnichols759 Год назад +2

      Some of them are e1b1a as well. The the mitochondrial haplogroups are mainly L3 & L2. My husband is R1b1a and his male line is black for as far back as we can trace. R1b1a is found in high frequencies in Central West Africa. It is explained as being the result of "back migration from Asia" during pre-historic times.
